Poland Summons Ambassador Back After Spy Claims

Via signonsandiego.com -

WARSAW – Poland called its ambassador to Austria home for talks on Monday after an official report identified him as a collaborator with a disbanded intelligence agency that the government says worked for Russia.

Ambassador Marek Jedrys was named on Friday in a 400-page government report that accused hundreds of Poles in positions of authority of working for Poland's Military Intelligence Service (WSI), disbanded last year by the conservative-led government.

The government says the agency, staffed by Soviet-trained agents, kept close ties with Moscow even after the fall of communism in 1989, allowing Russian spies to work on Polish soil and controlling many of the levers of power.
